Following Thursday’s minicamp observe, Baltimore Ravens proper guard Kevin Zeitler spoke with the media.

On the age of 33 and getting into the ultimate yr of his present contract with the Ravens, retirement has been a query surrounding the standout guard.

“Once you’re in a spot this good, you’d love to complete out your profession right here,” Zeitler mentioned. “I’ve no intention of stopping anytime quickly. Not coming to OTAs for the primary time sort of made it actual clear I nonetheless want this recreation, I like this recreation, and I wanna play this recreation.”

Zeitler has been a stalwart on Baltimore’s offensive line since signing a three-year contract with the staff in 2021 following a stint with the New York Giants. Regardless of his play on the sector being that of top-of-the-line guards within the NFL all through a lot of his profession, Zeitler has surprisingly by no means made the Professional Bowl or been named an All-Professional.

Zeitler was instrumental in serving to to show across the offensive line’s efficiency after a shaky 2021 season for the group. With the addition of first-round middle Tyler Linderbaum and veteran free agent proper sort out Morgan Moses to go together with the return of left sort out Ronnie Stanley and a breakout yr from left guard Ben Powers, the group skyrocketed again to top-of-the-line models within the NFL.
